I am trying to pass multiple id in a list as the input parameter in custom workflow, how can we set the input parameter type, it looks like I can not define the list type for the inargument?

 public InArgument<List> fromuser { get; set; }

That's correct. Lists are not one of the parameters that you can pass to a custom workflow.

You can put in a separated string (for example: value1;value2;value3...) and split it into multiple values from within the workflow.

Hope that helps.

Pass the entity references and inside the code get all the id and use foreach to literate all the I'd.

Hi sdnd2000,

this isnt allowed "by design" by CRM, but you can reach your goal using some tricks.

Please let me know what is the source of your list (explain me your flow, so i could drive you througth solutions).

Hi sdnd2000,

so you need to refer to one or more user inside an attribute of email entity which is included in the same workflow, is so?
